I don't ever remember getting to participate in them myself in the 70s but I am certain that there were illegal crackers on cracker night for some time.<br /><br />As I was scanning through your pictures, I had a thought that you were going to add chilli to the chocolate crackles - now there is a thought. Love chilli chocolate. <br /><br />You have put on a mighty spread this week Lee, and I am feeling rather full at your kitchen table.

We had a good old laugh about it.<br /><br />There always seem some group or other around these days who want to strip us of all fun. The Non-Enjoyment Brigade. We're not allowed to be silly and have fun these days, if they get their way! I'll put a fight...I won't go down easily! :)<br /><br />I love your comment about "scaring the little kids"! lol It brought back memories to me how we used sit around and scare the living daylights out of each other with our ghost stories. We knew full well we were making it all up...but that didn't make any difference! We'd still scream our lungs out and jump sky high if someone broke away unseen and purposely snuck up on us! Great stuff!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by and thanks for the laugh. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-11536543494081100902015-11-05T15:33:57.963-08:002015-11-05T15:33:57.963-08:00I so agree with you, Lee.

I was reminiscing last night with my son after the grandkids had gone off to a public display in town, the first time in years we haven't had our own bonfire and let off crackers down by the creek. I'm so glad I was a kid in the 50s, too. It was a great time to be a child. We used to let off our crackers on the grassed area in front of the cemetery so in addition to the fireworks there were all the reflections off the headstones. Only for the brave! We'd scare away the little kids quite easily. How mean and what fun! I cried with laughter last night when I told me son about Kenny Dapterwic blowing up Mrs Hayden's letterbox. I think about that every year and have a chuckle.

She and I argued the point re Guy Fawkes Night until we both almost blew-up because she tried to convince me (a pointless exercise *smile*) that Guy Fawkes Night was in May, because that's when they celebrated it when she was a kid growing up in......Canberra! <br /><br />Then the penny dropped....and I pointed out to her the difference in the time of the year....etc., etc. The different celebrations one completely separate to the other.<br /><br />And I agree....Melbourne Cup Day should be declared a public holiday. I've been saying similar for years and years. It's a day that the majority of Aussies get into the swing of things. I know this Aussie typing this response does!!! :)<br /><br />Thanks for popping in again. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.com
